Miranda Lee

Miranda Lee was born at Port Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia, the youngest of the four children by a country school teacher and a talented dressmaker. At 10, her father was transferred to Gosford. After leaving her convent school, Miranda briefly studied the cello before moving to Sydney, where she embraced the emerging world of computers. Her career as a programmer ended after she married, had three daughters and bought a small acreage in a semi-rural community, where she started to wrote.

She published her first novels in 1990, and not long into her writing career, she committed herself to writing a six-book series entitled, The Hearts of Fire, with a deadline of just nine short months. Bravely, her husband left his executive position to stay home and support Miranda’s writing career.
